Arsenal are reportedly planning a summer move for Everton's Idrissa Gueye as they seek to find their own 'N'Golo Kante'.
The Gunners had been hot on the trail of Kante during his time at Caen and Leicester City, but on both occasions, they had to face defeat with the Frenchman, now in the ranks of Chelsea.
According to The Sun, the north London side are planning to lure Gueye from Everton in the summer as they seek to add a combative midfielder to their squad.
Santi Cazorla has previously been the orchestrator from midfield but his continuous injury concerns have hurt the Gunners in their quest for the long-awaited title.
The Spaniard is likely to be released at the expiry of his contract this summer, and this could see the club move in for Gueye, who has been among the standout performers for the Toffees this campaign.
Gueye has already appeared in 58 outings in the Premier League - 35 with Aston Villa last term, and he has been identified as the perfect fit to do the 'Kante' role.
